Introduction to Fault Tree Analysis

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) can be used in industrial systems to find faults, damages, and predictive maintenance. Learn about FTA’s basics. Setting up a complex machine or a system is challenging, but system failures cause more damage and have significant costs attached to them. It is prudent to analyze how prone the new system is … Read more

Vibration Monitoring in Predictive Maintenance (PdM)

Advanced automation and IoT devices can detect vibration, but even complex systems can miss a variable and cause chaos. Working with these systems requires years of experience in order to understand the importance of errors. Things don’t always add up and occasionally there seems to be some problem or variable happening behind the scenes that … Read more
